Hello, I have a proflem :(
* I have drawing area, that should be changed by iteration process very
frequent (as fast, as it possible) IF toggle button is pressed (or after
button was pressed)
* And I need to stop these changing whenever I want by pressing (toggle or
non-toggle) button one more time.
* But my process catches all of my CPU, and I can't stop.
Easier:
In my case I have a large bitmap -- array of chars and iteration
process, that changes it. After each change I need my DrawingArea to be
redraw (drawingarea is just an interface to bitmap). And I need this
process to be stoped when I want.
Thanks in advance,
